Abstract
The present technique relates to signal processing apparatus and method that can reduce power consumption. A receiver that receives a broadcast signal includes a demodulation unit that demodulates the broadcast signal, and a reception control unit that controls the demodulation by the demodulation unit. In a section not including PLPs to be received in the broadcast signal, the reception control unit controls the demodulation unit to stop the demodulation by the demodulation unit on the basis of subframes or OFDM symbols. The present technique can be applied to a receiver.
